A 32-year-old Ridley coming off a serious injury won't be the Titans' WR1 in 2026. In fact, Ridley is likely competing for the WR3 role with both Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike.

Ridley competing for WR3 role, not WR1, after Tate and Robinson signings.

PFF ranked Ridley as Titans' WR1 at No. 32 overall despite offseason acquisitions, citing his 1,000-yard seasons in 2023–2024 and career-high 17.8 yards per reception average before injury. However, the source disputes this ranking, arguing that at 32 years old coming off a serious 2025 injury, Ridley is unlikely to be Tennessee's WR1 in 2026. Instead, Ridley is likely competing for the WR3 role with Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, both of whom had impressive rookie seasons and should improve as sophomores. With Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson expected to be the Titans' preferred receivers under Brian Daboll, Ridley won't be handed reps.
